I have seen people showing this oddity for years. Within I have always suspected – known – heavy metals in the atmosphere creates this. I never tried it out on my own though – mostly because snow here is rare but also because I would simply forget until after-the-fact.
We had snow a couple of weeks ago and I decided to test it out – see if I could get it to burn. I did it outside. I used a butane lighter – gathered up some snow – and tried to light that snow. Except for melting, nothing happened. No burn marks. No black marks. No weird smell.
HOWEVER….the very “scientific” approach I used destroys the mainstream science theory that says the reason why people’s snow experiments were resulting in the snow burning, showing burn marks, is due to the butane in their lighters. Well then why didn’t my use of butane result in burned, charcoal-colored snow?
Here are some truther’s videos showing their experimentation with the snow in their area. Some used lighters. Some used candles (no butane). Some used matches (no butane). The results are in – this ain’t real snow in many parts of the country. Did we just get lucky out west with that one snow episode?
